• Buccaneers' Jordan Whitehead: Strong showing in big win

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  Whitehead recorded seven tackles (six solo) in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday. Whitehead had exited the Week 5 loss to the Falcons with a groin injury that also led to limited participation to start Week 6 prep. However, there was nary a trace of the issue in Sunday's big win, with Whitehead logging a 99.0 percent snap share (69 snaps) and finishing second in tackles to Lavonte David. Whitehead has at least six stops in all but one game this season, and the contest he fell short in was the aforementioned injury-shortened one versus Atlanta. The veteran safety remains a reliable IDP option, with his 43 total tackles putting him comfortably on pace to eclipse the career-high 97 he recorded with the Jets in 2023.

• Buccaneers' Jordan Whitehead: On track to play Week 6

  Whitehead (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, but he's considered likely to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Though he's carrying a designation into Sunday, Whitehead looks on track to suit up after he was a limited participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday before turning in a full session Friday. Tampa Bay should have both its starting safeties available for the first time since Week 1, as Antoine Winfield (foot) is listed as questionable but is also expected to play after missing the previous four games. Whitehead has tallied 36 tackles and three pass breakups through the first five weeks of the campaign.

  Whitehead (undisclosed) is good to go this week according to head coach Todd Bowles, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Whitehead returned to practice last week after missing a significant amount of training camp and not suiting up in a single preseason game due to an undisclosed issue. Despite the extended absence, it appears it's all systems go for the Pittsburgh product, and he should be getting the start at strong safety Sunday against the Commanders.
